How To Deter Ants
Ants can be a problem for homeowners, and they can be even more of a problem for someone who has just moved into a new home. You may be surprised to learn that there are many ways to deter ants from your home, including using products that are available at most grocery stores or hardware stores.
One of the best ways to deter ants from entering your home is by using ant traps. Ant traps are small containers with food inside that are designed to attract and trap ants. These traps can be placed in areas where you have seen an influx of ants, including on windowsills or near doors. The trap will catch any ants that come into contact with it, which will prevent them from entering your home.
Another option is to use ant repellent sprays around your house. These sprays are designed to keep ants away by making their paths less desirable than other areas in your yard or garden where they do not apply the spray. Spraying these areas will help keep ants away from other areas where they might enter your house, such as windowsills or doorways.
You could also try placing citrus peels near entrances where you’ve noticed an increase in ant activity (such as windowsills). Citrus peels have been shown to repel ants
Ants are pesky little creatures that can ruin your outdoor time. They can also be hard to get rid of. Here are some tips on how to deter ants from your yard and home:
1) Keep the area around your house clean. Make sure there is no food out that they can get into, especially pet food! Ants love it!
2) Keep all trash cans in a garage or shed. This will keep them away from your home and keep them from finding extra food sources for their colony.
3) If you have plants in pots, make sure they are not touching the ground or sitting on top of soil. This will prevent ants from coming up through the soil and into your pots where they can nest and multiply quickly!
4) If there is already an ant problem in your yard, try putting small pieces of chalk or calcium carbonate around the perimeter of where you want to keep them away from (such as around a garden). This will act as a barrier so ants cannot cross over it without getting their feet covered with powder which deters them from going forward with their journey across your yard (or garden).
